T'Challa: The Black Panther Appreciation 2021

[Cville]

the power scaling used to be really balanced. Now it's a bit all over the place but I think a rogue of that nature for T'Challa to fight would work really well

He fought Hydro-man once, that would count as a logical type. Lol. Klaw would be a special paramecia, but similar to as logia.

True. I think the marriage was more to boost the profile of the comic versions. Idk if the ga would've bought the marriage. Even a lot of comic readers didn't

The general audience sees Marvel as ONE universe. Because that is how it has been shown to them. Unlike the comic book side.

The movie and tv side would show you HOW Black Panther and Storm SHOULD have been presented as a couple.

I didn't know Synch got such a pushback, though.

Synch is still a BLACK MALE. Whenever they try to step beyond where fans EXPECT them to be-expect push back. Especially if fans think someone they like is being used as a PROP for that black guy.

While it seems to be okay for everyone to use Black Panther for a prop or an agenda-can't do it the other way around. Synch is being viewed as using X-23 for a prop and that is part of the reason we saw that push back.

Sort of the same argument of Storm helping Panther.

The fun part, of course, is that most of the people who watched the movies/cartoons probably didn't KNOW Storm married T'Challa.

Fortunately for them, they were spared the wreck it became.

I guess Marvel thought it could sell more by pitting both sides against one another.

Honestly, Idk if the whole marriage would be a good idea for the MCU. But then again, they could've led a hybrid Avengers/X-Men MCU team.

Seems to go against the whole "diversity" purpose of X-Men

I'm sure that this was probably already discussed but did anyone notice that MCU Taskmaster has claws like BP?

It does, but the sad fact of it is that while the X-Men at least under Chris Claremont in the 1980s, were better on that issue compared to other mainstream superhero publications and franchises, even within Marvel itself, those others eventually caught up with, if not surpassed, the X-Men there as society and culture in real life evolved and grew in that area, whereas the X-Men franchise was still content to continue couching those issues in metaphorical/allegorical terms to avoid discomforting the largely white and male fanbase that most superhero comics, then and now, still treated as the predominant audience. Granted, that's changed a good amount in recent years, especially with Jonathan Hickman as the "Head of X," but that's a lot of catch-up X-Men is doing compared to the other superhero stories that are more willing to tackle those issues in a more straightforward and upfront manner compared to where X-Men has largely been.

That's true. The X-Men are still a lot more diverse in some areas, like Native American characters or, until recently, Asian characters. So they have that going for them. But I've barely seen them deal with real racism. I don't think the metaphor is really relevant anymore, especially when actual PoC heroes can tell their own stories now

He probably was and I must have missed it somewhere. I hope they show how he copied BP and the others in the BW movie.

Most likely video feeds from the German airport.

Maybe some from South Korea. There really isn't that much fight footage of BP outside of Wakanda..

I heard rumor he might have Stark Tech too. But idk if that's reliable

I suspect there will be a introduction scene where hes watching multiple videos at once to learn peoples moves.
